How Much Fill Dirt Do I Need?
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 54 square feet at a 6 inch depth, so a small low spot might only need a yard or two, while backfilling around a foundation or building up a pool deck area can run into double digits. Since install depth typically runs 6 to 12 inches, doubling your depth roughly halves your coverage per yard, so measure the actual low area first rather than guessing at total yard footage.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most fill jobs in Rogers finish with a cap of topsoil once the fill is compacted, especially if the area will see grass, beds, or foundation plantings later. If you're building up ground for a shed pad or patio base, a layer of crushed stone or gravel on top of the compacted fill gives a firmer, better draining surface. Straw or erosion matting can help hold a freshly filled slope until it's capped or seeded.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Rogers clay does not compact evenly if you dump fill dirt in one deep pile and call it done. Spread it in 6 to 8 inch lifts and run a plate compactor or hand tamper over each layer before adding the next. Skipping this step is why driveways and yards here develop soft spots and sinkholes years later, especially once heavy spring rain works its way through loosely packed fill sitting over rocky clay subsoil.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Fill dirt is not a growing medium, so if grass or landscaping is going on top, cap the compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of real topsoil before seeding or sodding. A common mistake in this area is skipping the cap and wondering why nothing takes root, since subsoil lacks the organic content and nutrients that Ozark-region turf and beds need to establish.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're backfilling around a foundation or pool ahead of Rogers' fall frost around October 28, get the fill placed and compacted with enough weeks left before the ground cools, since cold, wet clay is harder to work and compact properly. Pair the order with crushed stone if the finished surface needs to bear weight, like a shed pad or parking area.
Grading and Filling in Rogers
Rogers ground is mostly rocky clay, which drains slow and holds water in low spots after the spring rains that come ahead of the April 15 last frost. That makes fill dirt a regular request here for pool decks, foundation backfill, and yards near Hobbs State Park where the terrain rolls and pools water in the flatter sections. Because it is subsoil, not topsoil, it is meant to be structural, you build the grade with it then cap it with topsoil where grass or plants need to grow. On sloped lots common around the Ozark foothills, it also gets used to build up low corners before a retaining wall or patio goes in.
What Clean Fill Is
Clean fill is screened subsoil free of debris, roots, and contaminants. It is made for volume and grade, and it compacts predictably, which is exactly what you want under slabs, in trenches, and behind walls.
Fill Dirt vs Topsoil
Fill dirt builds the shape of the ground, topsoil grows things on top of it. Bring the grade up with fill, then cap it with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil anywhere grass or plants are going in.
Compact in Lifts
Place fill in layers of 4 to 6 inches and compact each one before adding the next. Dumping the full depth at once leaves voids that settle later, and settling is the one problem fill is supposed to solve.
